    The magnitude of magnetic induction for a current carrying toroid of uniform cross - section is

    A) uniform over the whole cross-section

    B) maximum on the outer edge

    C)  maximum on the inner edge

    D) maximum at the centre of cross-section

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    A toroid can be considered as a ring shaped closed solenoid. Hence, it is like an endless cylindrical solenoid. Consider a toroid having n turns per unit length. Magnetic field at a point P in the figure. is given as \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}NI}{2\pi r}={{\mu }_{0}}nI\] where \[n=\frac{N}{2\pi r}.\] Hence the magnitude of magnetic induction for a current carrying toroid of uniform cross-section is uniform over the whole cross-section.
